Americans Overwhelmingly Support Coal - Useful Education Resources

January 30, 2009

Greater use of clean coal is essential to driving job creation, economic stimulus and environmental solutions. In a recent national poll, a record 72 percent of opinion leaders said "yes" to the use of coal to generate electricity and a record 69 percent said coal is a fuel of the future.

The two websites indicated below are useful resources for educational material about clean coal:

Coal Can Do That

Peabody Energy has relaunched CoalCanDoThat.com, part of our award-winning campaign to educate Americans about the benefits of clean coal. The interactive website offers blogs from leading energy experts, the latest energy headlines, downloadable podcasts and coal facts, studies and other resources about the world's fastest-growing fuel.

National Mining Association

The National Mining Association’s (NMA) website has a new section that provides factual information on the next generation of clean coal technologies—Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The new section was developed to help answer fundamental questions about CCS, provide cross-references to studies and information on domestic and international CCS projects, set CCS within the context of other clean coal technologies and further establish NMA as a reliable source of information with policymakers and their staffs.
